Stacie Laughton made national news recently when she was arrested (again) for stalking a woman in violation of a protective order. Laughton, a Democrat, and the first Transgender elected to the NH House (to then also resign and un-resign) has a history of running for public office, criminal complaints, and arrests.
Stacie, born Barry Charles, Laughton Jr. is alleged to have an array of mental health issues, not the least of which is being a registered Democrat. Recently, someone sent me a list of incidents associated with Laughton.
We make no specific claim to the accuracy of the details and present them as provided for the record.
-When Stacie-Marie was Barry C he ran for city council in 2005(18%of the vote at age 21) and 2009 (10% of the vote) and school board in 2006 (2% of the vote) while living in Laconia but was not successful in his bid. Additionally, he lost his bid in a primary race for the NH house in 2010.
– 7/2006 Stacie-Marie was Barry C and now ex-wife Lisa were arrested in 2006 due to contacting 911 3x from 2:13 am-3:45 am the 1st of 2 calls were because they were stranded with the last call stating that Lisa had fallen and that Stacie-Marie was suicidal and they requested 2 ambulances. During the intake at the hospital it was determined that there was no need for treatment, and a taxi was called to transport them home. Stacie-Marie refused to pay for the taxi, and this resulted in a felony charge for calling emergency services and for theft of services. The county Atty did not prosecute the felony and Stacie-Marie plead guilty to theft of services.

These sentences ran concurrently and were later reduced to 1 year in Belnap County DOC.
